🌼 **From Misunderstood Pain to Life-Changing Relief: Hann’s Endometriosis Journey** 🌼
Meet Hann Dougie, a resilient woman from Neath who spent years battling pain that was dismissed by doctors. From her first symptoms at just 10 years old, she heard it all—”it’s just in your head” to “try getting pregnant.” But Hann’s journey was anything but ordinary.
For the 1.5 million women in the UK with endometriosis, this story might sound familiar. It’s a condition where tissue similar to the womb lining grows in other parts of the body, causing intense pain. Despite her own mum having endometriosis, it took Hann eight years to receive a diagnosis at 18. Finding out was bittersweet, with doctors offering little more than temporary fixes.
Hann’s teenage years were a blur of treatments that couldn’t offer relief. The contraceptive pill, surgeries, even strong medications couldn’t halt the pain. At one point, the suggested “solution” was to become pregnant. At 17, she knew that wasn’t the answer for her!
Fast forward to 2021, Hann discovered medical cannabis through a simple social media post—a revelation that changed everything. 🌿💡 This treatment now allows her more freedom and comfort, turning her life around completely. Gone are the days of being tied down by pills. She’s increased her work hours, hits the gym, and finally enjoys a good night’s sleep!
Hann passionately shares her story to break the stigma surrounding endometriosis and medical cannabis. She believes more women deserve awareness and access to treatments that genuinely help. “We know our bodies best, and it’s time medical solutions reflect that reality,” she asserts.
Raise your voice, spread awareness, and let’s support Hann in her mission to highlight the reality of living with endometriosis and the potential of medical cannabis. Every story makes a difference! ✊🎗️
